I’m coming to Nairobi in about 2 weeks for a 3 week visit. I live in Reno, Nevada and am a member of Temple Emanu-El, a conservative shul here in Reno. My wife, Judy Hirsch, is the president of out Temple.I would like to visit the Nairobi Hebrew Congregation for a Friday evening or Saturday morning service and will complete the security application in due course. If there are any further considerations, please let me know.
Thank you very much and I look forward to meeting the members of the National Hebrew Congregation.
Sincerely,
Stephen Hirsch
